The Professional Music Teacher Education (PMTE) program at Oregon State University is a competitive, selective, and rigorous program of study designed for students who have completed an undergraduate degree in music or music education. The program results in a Master of Arts in Teaching degree and an endorsement toward an Oregon Teaching License.
